This is one of them faults thats very difficult to diagnose but if what you say is right then i would change the drivers door lock ,they are repairable as they are a sealed unit on these cars,but i did have a similar problem with a petrol version on one of the first models of these cars about a 99 or 2000 as i remember and it would play up just like this ,open and close the door lock with key three times and it started.then be ok for a week then not start again so i had the key man down with his programmer and he checked it out for the key remote and found nothing wrong with either the master or the spare key and he said try changing the door lock because he had this problem before with other ford focus models and mondeos .Change the lock and it was ok for a week but the owner sold the car for a new car on the scrappage scheme so i never did find out it was ok after that

What your describeing sounds like a fuel pressure issue. The only way to confirm is to hook up a pressure gauge to verify. Then if the pressure is low you will need diagnostic procedures like the ones that can be had at mitchell1diy online. There are several seals within the system not to mention sensors. Not knowing what any of these read without a data scanner noone can accurately guess whats going on with your truck. Personally I would not touch this if your new diesels. This really needs to be put in the shop. Also if you have oil pressure issue the truck will also do this, Listening to someone recommned maybe this maybe that is only going to get expensive if you choose to just throw parts at this. You have already paid more for the parts you threw on than a diagnostic would run and you have taken a step backwards which really leaves one confused. But either way if you choose to work on your truck you need the sight I mentioned to proceed.
